Yes. You're right there.
Why do you think it's better on the sidewalks than on the poles? I'm curious.
I think those patterns work best on a smaller scale. Here it's in your face and I would suggest it works best on a flat rather than curved surface. Perhaps if the "grout' was of lower contrast it would also work better.
I was performing my usual poster-removing public service, along my residential street, a couple of days ago when a resident ( a new resident, I think ... ) called out to me in a rather indignant tone, "What are you doing?". I ignored him, since it was pretty obvious what I was doing and carried on to the next utility pole. So he then accosted me with, "Why are you doing that?" so I said, "Because I want to." to which he replied, "Well, that answer's not good enough for me." as if I was supposed to care. Very odd. I just ignored him again and carried on, and he left me alone.
I don't get it. Why are people so offended by postering of poles? It's part of what makes this ugly city interesting. The city is becoming sterile enough as it is, what harm does postering for local music/arts possibly do?
I'd take the ramshackle power lines and plastered telephone poles of old Queen West over the cleansed version of the city any day.
There's no correlation between high streetscaping standards and sterility. Removing posters and wooden hydro poles doesn't make an area sterile. Where do people get these ideas?I don't get it.

Ah, okaaaaaay then.
Hate to see your apartment.
Keep you presumptuous and snarky comments to yourself.
